I skipped this year,just because of tired of sitting around for it to stop raining like the last ten years. i swear that track is doomed with a big rain cloud over it 24/7.

So, stupid question
Qualifying gets washed out, they start by points, right?
I'm a couple of hundred due south and it's gloomy and raining here... and what happen here on the Virginia coast happens in PA about five to eight hours later... sorry guys...

Exactly right! What you will get for sure is thunderstorms and delays but few rain outs. Few records either.

I just may have to plan a trip to visit my parents in two weeks. The conditions could be ideal.

Well this blows. I'm glad I'm not paying the fuel bills for the teams.

At least it's a short tow from Reading to Dinwiddie...but that makes it a "fourfer."

Yeah but Reading to Dallas to Reading is going to be way too much fun for folks. Hopefully the rain date doesn't rain/snow out.

How is this going to affect things?

How is this date going to affect things, the President's Cup for the IHRA is the same weekend????? Does anyone think that there are going to be a few less cars out there? Clay Millican usually shows up for NHRA races when there's a hole in the schedule, but he's in the points for IHRA....where do we think he will be? Bob Gilbertson....Gary Densham.....going to be interesting to see where certain people end up!
